Pestopasta's "arc" was Predictable

>!I didn't really like what parrot did with Pestopasta, it was pretty obvious he was going to kill him off as per usual and like.. Pesto wouldve been way funnier and upsetting when dead if Parrot reacted to Pesto's jokes more, and we were shown that they bonded more. During that episode (I Built Minecrafts most Advanced Civilization), I felt like he was trying to act.. non chalant? Like a noble leader, and not goofy at all, even during parts that would be good as goofy. I think it's to show that he is putting a barrier up for himself so he doesn't hurt another person or himself, but as a viewer it felt like he didn't know what to say. PARROT IS WAY FUNNIER THAN THAT ISTG !<

Flame should start his Mentoring Arc

Flame had been taught by like the best PVPers around, and I think its time he spreads his expertise as well. I feel like it would add a new arc for him, with motives that aren't revenge or trying to achieve Grandmaster. Well he could be trying to get better through teaching- there's some saying about that, idk. If this was true, It'd be a good motive to START the arc, then he slowly got close with his pupil and his list of trusted allies grows to 4 (Lomedy, Wemmbu sorta, that one dude from the Mist arc, and now his pupil).

His pupil could also teach him a thing or two about morals. Not saying Flame has no morals, but he's a very Lawful Neutral character- sticking strictly to his beliefs, and protecting his friends. Protecting his friends, you could debate that as a reason for him to be Lawful Good, but I personally believe that protecting strangers or even enemies would classify you as good over neutral. If his pupil could show him that doing things strictly for your own benefit is a little selfish, and it's not a bad thing to go out of your way and help.. say... Parrot, then he would have a list of growing motives and even more character development!

Despite my reasoning from earlier, I genuinely enjoy Flame as a character who is selfish, joins the enemy side for his own reasons (The Mafia, Zam Empire, Cindercrest) because if Flame hadn't made that decision, we wouldn't get the insider knowledge of how those things work and it's very nice to have a character for every side.

I think it'd be really cool if after Flame humbles antag, he TAKES HIM UNDER HIS WING and antag is like.. hesitant and refuses, but after a few videos they're close, and Flame would teach a character who used to be evil but now is good. Flame always ends his power arcs with beating them up and leaving so this would be refreshing.
